Polished Alloy Side Vent group buy bargain

Always fancied this sidevent myself but found the pricing of 145+ ridiculous.
Came across 7 and had to take them all to get the price down.

So offering these at cost with a small donation to the D3 site. £82.50 + postage from UK, collection or D3 courier network.

Well my Euro keyboard doesn't produce a "£" but assumed that 82.50 was clear. Copy/pasted the currency but I do accept all major foreign currencies. Whistle

You just need to know, once this is on, it is most definately ON !!
If you take it off it'll break !
The main central bar that you would hold to take it off isn't attached to the metal surround.
It's attached to the plastic grill ... and that's why it breaks.
It's nice, it's expensive but it hasn't been thought through correctly.
I filled the ends of the central bar with a metal compound, drilled the surround and used self tapping screws to secure the central bar.
You might also have to undo the rubber intake boot as the side vent fouls this when it's in position and doesn't sit home correctly.

Apart from that they look fantastic.
Gives a far better quality finish than the cheap plastic ones fitted as standard.
It's not chrome btw, it's polished alloy Wink

I also did this with mine btw.
[it's been tidied up since this photo]

Thanks Ron, easy mod to improve the vent I would say.
As per your remark I changed the description. Polished alloy sounds so much better Thumbs Up

This is responsible bling! Polished alloy is honest metal, not that shiny.....
